Lasse Jensby Dahl

Manyone has bought a controlling stake in the Norwegian design driven innovation team, Studio Vues. With this acquisition, we’re incorporating our 11th global office, and we’re now present in all three Scandinavian capitals. 

With Studio VUES joining Manyone, we’re now

Studio VUES are well respected throughout the industry for their holistic business approach and skillful combination of service design with lean innovation principles. They add a strong customer portfolio composed of both private and public clients, and special expertise from the healthcare and mobility sectors.
Studio VUES is well known in the design community as some of the best within design driven innovation. In no small part thanks to the fantastic mix of talent present in their team. Their ambitions and values align closely with our own, and together, we’re eager to continue building a better future with design. Service design is at the core of achieving this agenda, and that’s why it’s a great pleasure that this particular group of people will now be the foundation of Manyone in Norway. 

Lasse Jensby Dahl,
Co-CEO, Manyone

As part of the acquisition, Studio VUES will soon rebrand as Manyone Oslo and the office is projected to grow to 50 people by 2023. The current client list of Studio VUES include Ruter, Skatteetaten, Cermaq, Møller Bil, Finans 2, Tannlegeforeningen and Roede.

When presented with the opportunity to join Manyone it was quickly very obvious that we shared dreams, values and ambitions. That we’re here to create value for people, business and the planet. We’re a company that believes, that we can achieve more by putting people first – and this is something that is also reflected in Manyone’s way of working. This is the perfect match for the business and for our employees. 
Michelle Cole Partner, Co-head, Manyone Oslo

The four partners in Studio VUES will continue leading day-to-day operations from the Manyone office in Oslo, while also joining Manyone as partners. Michelle Cole and Jon Haukass will assume roles as Co-Heads of Manyone Oslo.
